Setting Up iRadar S120R
The S120R has been designed to be mounted
under the hood, behind the vehicle's grille or
within an air intake at the front of the vehicle if
appropriate using the 'L' shaped bracket and screw
pack provided.
Find a suitable
mounting position for the detector,
ensuring
that the front of the unit has a clear
view of the road ahead and is unobstructed by
any metallic objects and that there is a sufficient
mounting area to attach the 'L' shaped fixing
bracket. The S
120R needs to be mounted in as
horizontal a position as possible so that it is looking
directly down the road ahead.
We recommend
that you mount the detector either
behind
the vehicle's grille (if the openings of the
grille are at least 1Omm in diameter) or within an air
intake at
the front of the vehicle. The S 120R can be
mounted anywhere at the front of the vehicle, but
for optimum performance we suggest you mount
it as close as possible to the license plate of the
vehicle.

Typical Fitting
10mm
Minimum
When you have found a suitable location, using
the 'L' shaped mounting bracket as a template,
drill between 2 and 4 pilot holes into the selected
mounting surface for attaching the bracket using
either the self-tapping screws or the nuts and bolts
provided.
You will need to attach the bracket using at least
2 screws or 2 nuts and bolts to ensure that the
bracket is well secured. Remember that there is a
lot of vibration within the engine compartment
so it is very important that the S 120R mounting
bracket is secured correctly.

Mounting Notes
When mounting and connecting the power cables
of the 5120R ensure that you mount the unit and
cables away
from any moving parts such as air-
cooling fans
or the fan belt. Position the unit so
that device and power cables do not interfere with
any moving parts within the engine compartment
or interfer with any part of the vehicle that could
endangeryou
or your passengers. Please check
that all surfaces are safe to drill through before
beginning any work.

Connecting
the
iRadar S120R
The
51
20R
is
powered
by
wiring
it
directly
to
your
vehicles 12V electrical system using
the
cable

the

supply, this
will
power
on
the
detector
when
the
ignition
is
switched On, and
Off
when
the
ignition
is
Off.
Connect
the
black(negative)
wire
to
a chassis
ground
or
batteryground. In
many
cases,
this
wire
can be attached
to
any metal
portion
of
the
vehicle frame. The
LED
will
blink
red
if
the
power
connection
has
been completed successfully. This
LED
can be located near
to
the
point
where
the

cable enters
the
rear
of
the
